It feels so hard to decide what is right and what is wrong, what is
death and what is life and whether or not to worry about global warming
or food irradiation. I think it feels so difficult because for generations,
we have been taught not to feel, taught instead to feel apart from
the cycles of the Earth. Maybe it's not so hard after all. Maybe it's
as simple as noticing the shortest day and longest night of the year
- and knowing that the day will get longer and the darkness will recede.
